Soy Protein Isolate
Prepared through a process using water extraction and minimum heat
on de-hulled, de-fatted soybean flakes, soy protein isolate is nearly
carbohydrate and fat-free and 90 percent protein when dried. Isolated
soy protein is used as a nutritional, functional or economic alternative
to traditional protein in food bars, beverages, baked goods, cereals,
poultry, red meat and seafood products.
Soy Protein Concentrate
Prepared by removing a portion of the carbohydrates from de-hulled,
de-fatted soybean flakes, soy protein concentrate retains most of
the fiber in the original soybeans and contains at least 65 percent
protein when dried. Soy protein concentrate is commonly used as
a functional or nutritional ingredient in a wide variety of food
products.
Soy Lecithin
Lecithin is a naturally occurring component of soybeans, obtained
from soy oil when de-hulled soybean flakes are de-fatted. Soy lecithin
is a very popular emulsifier, helping bind two unlike substances
(like oil and water) together. Lecithin can be found in a wide variety
of foods including instant drink mix, no-fat snacks and cookies,
infant formula, meat gravy, chewing gum, graham crackers and cooking
spray.
Soy Fiber
A source of fiber derived from the soybean, soy fiber is used in
a variety of high-fiber and reduced-calorie foods because of its
neutral taste and light color. Extensive clinical studies have proven
that soy fiber provides all of the benefits traditionally associated
with soluble and insoluble fiber.
Soy Polymers
Derived using innovative technology, soy polymers serve as functional
additives for coated paper and paperboard products.
